Spokane and wine again? You got it, I never tire of talking about the amazing wine scene in Spokane. With 25 wineries claiming a presence (19 producers), Spokane provides residents and visitors an abundance of grape exploration.

Arbor Crest (at River Park Square), Cougar Crest, Whitestone Winery, and Nectar Tasting Room are all within 4 blocks of each other. Whether you’re staying at The Davenport Hotel, doing some shopping at River Park Square, or coming downtown for dinner, the tasting pass lets you […]

Over the next several weeks you’ll see the space transform into […]

Starting Thursday, February 16, Nectar Tasting Room is excited to announce they have more food options.

As the Beatles sang, “All You Need is Love.” I think they might have mean to add wine and chocolate too. Love, wine and chocolate – three things that calm chaos, diffuse differences, and elicit emotion.

Join us (and 19 other participating locations) for Spokane’s ValenWine Weekend, February 11-12. Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 5pm each winery will be showcasing wines paired with chocolate.
